Thanks for nominating this, CAPTAIN MEDUSA. I was just in the process and would be happy to provide the QPQ, if you would like. StudiesWorld (talk) 18:02, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

StudiesWorld, it's up to you. I don't mind.___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

CAPTAIN MEDUSA, I already did one, so I've added it. Thanks for writing a nice hook! StudiesWorld (talk) 18:07, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Tidied up the hook - this is not a review. Johnbod (talk) 14:12, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain and is a FP. StudiesWorld, the hook facts are cited inline but looking at the two sources, I cannot see them. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:44, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth, here (from p. 144 of Dutch Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vol. 1): "The Friedsam canvas is among the earliest examples in the Netherlands, or anywhere in Europe, of sitters from outside court circles depicted in an equestrian portrait. The type had previously been, and indeed remained in other countries, a prerogative of royalty and high nobility." The text then continues to discuss potential reasons for this development. I hope that is acceptable. Thanks for the review, StudiesWorld (talk) 10:28, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Right, the citation links to a page entitled MetPublications, but you are actually citing page 144 of a book. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
